Strong Drink.

The following extract from recent
issue of scientific exchange has some
practical remarks on the excessive use Of
alcohol and its effect OH the brain, which
will be interesting reading to several Who
are addicted to the flowing bowl: q
Alcohol is indigestible. It cannot be
built into bone or tissue. The only thing
the body can do with alcohol is TO get
rid of it. 1t is largely thrown off BY the
lungs, as any one can believe who has
come within smelling distance Of the Z
drinker. 1t passes through the skin, and
works its way to every part Of tho body +
and portion of it passes to the brain,
deranging the action of the brain, and
producing species Of insanity. When
the alcohol reaches the brain, of ccuse
it is closely shut in, and as it cannot pass
readily through the skull it is more Like.
ly to remain in the brain than III any
other part Of the body, and here il dots
its most deadly work.
The brain, when healthy, is 80 soft :
that it would not retain its shape but for
the skull. The sharpest knife is reqniredlS
to cut it without mapgling Its structure:
1t is necessary to immerse the organ Ia
alcohol for weeks or months in order to-,
harden it, when careful examination Is 3
essential. A drunkard's brsin presents q
contrast. Ia the dissecting room It af.s
fords rare pleasure to medical student
to secure the dissected brain Of an old
topper. A celebrated anatomist declared
that be could tell drunkard's brain il,
the dark, by the sense of touch Alone,
A London physician reported q case In
which he found, upor making post
mortem examination, so oystlong an oder
of alcohol elpinating from the brain that
he applied match to it, when It burstiI
into flame. The quantity of alcohol In !
the brain is sometimes so great that IT.

death. "
1t must not be supposed that every;
drunkard's brain is as hard as a picked
one; but it may be fairly supposed that
the hardening effect of alcohol has noE
little influence in the production of de-
generation of the brain, such as results
in various forms of progressive paralysis.
Numerous functional disorders Of the 4
brain are also traced directly to the
habitual use of alcoholic liquors. Loco.
motor ataxia, an almost hopeless malady,
involving the brain and spinal cord, is
very often the result of intemperance.

About Pea Nuts.

The Spanish or bush pea-nu. is new
variety in this country, unknown in
North Carolina and Virginia. 1t COM
mends itself to every farmer who has
tried it as valuable crop for market
and for use on the farm. The nuts are
the pabulum of the modern legislator as
we'll as the small boy, and are more deli.
cate than the North Carolina variety,
but little smaller. They are superior
to the coarse Virginia pinder. The nuts
grow around the tap root in cluster
and ell come up when pulled-about
pint to the hill on land that will make
FIVE or six bushels of corn to the acre,
more on better land.
The land should not be too stiff, as it
would bake around the nuts and hold
them in the ground. They should be
planted sbout the same time as cotton,
the hills IL to 16 inches and rows 80
inches apart, slightly hilled up with the
scraper. Will mature planted as late as
10th June, but should be pulled up and
cured as soon as the nuts commence to
sprout in the ground and before frost.
The tops do not lie on the ground and
spread as che old varieties, but bush up
and make large quantity of most excel.
lent foliage, cured as pea vine hay.
The tops may be moved off, cured and
put on the market and the nuts raised by
pulling the stubble, dried and housed.
The picking can be done at odd times in
hot or cold weather.
The yield is from 30 to 100'or more
bushels of nuts and one to FIVE thousand
pounds of hay.
With this nut and its top can be raised
hogs, cattle and horses in abundance and
cheaply; large quantity of more valua-
BILE manure, at the same time having
produced in the nuts a marketable com.
modify which always commands remu.
nerative price. The tops and nuts might
be baled together as provender and would
soon make market for themselves in
the cattle pens of the cities.
They can be planted among corn
instead of peas, and have done we'll in
the missing places on cotton beds.

WHAT'S your Boy Worth.

came across mother.::in Ohio who
loved her boy so that she would not give
her husband any rest till he promised to
vote for the Second Amendment. Some
people thought she Was only a humble,
ignorant woman, but she was smart
enough to know the value of her boy |!
You mothers who read this article, an
swer ethis question: What is your boy
worth9 Make the price high, for he is
"bone of your bone, and flesh of your
fesh." Ask father if he is worth ballot
at next election. Put the question to
him with tear drops trickling down your
cheeks, backed up with prayer of faith.
If you do it with all sincerity, the true
value Of his boy will appear, and all
other questions sink into insignifcance.
What is your boy worth?
1st, he is worth asking to sign the to.
tai abstinence pledge.
I'd. He is of sufficient value to be sent
to Band of Hope meeting to be instruct
ed as to the effects of alcohol upon the
human system.
Sd. he is of sufficient Importance for
you to know where he spends his even.
ings aud who his associates are.
4th. He is of more value than many
household pets, and is entitled to more
of your time and attention.
5th. To say nothing of the value Of
your boys good character, he has cost
you for food, raiment and education more
than the average saloon keeper pays for
his license.
9Th. "As the twig is bent the tree is
inclined" 1t will be ofgreat importance
to you whether your boy is valuable
citizen or curse to you and the neigh.
horhood in which you reside. If be
turns out good, be will be worth his
weight in gold; if otherwise, better he
had never been born.
7th. Being immortal, he is worth a
life's work to prepare him for happy
hereafter.
No license was ever made high enough
to cover the lowest estimate that you can
put on your boy, if there's spark of
Christianity or humanity in your heart.
Is it too much to ask the fathers Of
America to at least set enough value on
their boys to yearly drop into the ballot.

Footing Out Ritunlism.

A somewhat sensational case is under dis
cuosion in the Episcopal Council now in
session at Henderson, Ky. 1t Is that Of the
Rev George {. Bets, rector Of Grace Pro
tCstunt Episcopal Church, Louisville, Ky.
This minister has been in charge Of that
Church for the past two years, and during
that time has shown unmstakaOle tenden-
cics to the Roman Catholic faith. This has
been evidenced in many ways, but more
particularly by his recent action in having
tabernacle constructed in the church.
This is a distinctive piece Of furniture COM
| mon only to the Roman Catholic Church
Beyond this, BIr. Belts is also accused of
extreme ritualistic tendencies. He insists
upon being addressed rs Father" which
is title distinCtivcly worn by the ecclesi
astics of the Roman Catholic Church.
These innovations have naturally produced
severe criticism from the laymen of his
own church as well as his brethren in the
clergy. The matter was at last carried be
fore the bishop, the Right Rev. Thomas NJ.
Dudley, who ut once ordered the removal
OF the tabernacle and the cXpunging from
the forms of worship of all features extra
ncouS to the ritual of the Episcopal Church.
These instructions Mr.. Belts disobeyed, re-
treating behind the vcstry, whose consent,
he asserted, must be obtained before he
could remove any article from the chancel
of his church. On the matter being re-
ferrcd to the vestry of Grace Church, 1t was
found that they fully sustained Father
Belts, and refused to remove it, thus defy
ing the mandate of the Bishop. Nothing
more could be done but to carry the matter
before the tribunal of the assembled coun
Gil at Henderson. This was done, and a
rigid investigation is now proceeding.

The Time Not Yet.

Somc New York papers are strongly in
faenr of Il Southern man for second place
on the next Democratic Presidential ticket.
We have our doubts about the sincerity Of
this policy on the part of our Northern
friends. The Chronicle would like TO see Il
Southern man thus elevated and this paper
would lend all of its energies in this dircc
ton, did We think the time propitious for
such move But the South can wait a
while longer. We cannot afford to sacrifice
one of our leaders just now. We can gain
nothing by haste The Sonth has exercised
patience and has bidcd her time. She can
afford to wait awhile longer. We have no
objection to any Southern man named for
the position. Either one would give us eX-
trcme pleasure to sec elected. But can the
Democratic party do it, is Tire question.

The Negroes Relation to the White Man.


70 tie EUitor Gf IHe -Nt,ra AMI Courier.
In these days, when the negro has had civil
cqmlity thrust upon him, and whcn
churches are recognizing his ecclesiastical
cQu"lity, it would be well for Christian
people who seem to be forgetting race dis
tinctions created by the Almighty, to in
quirc on what solid grounds they can con.
sent 10 put the negro on the same plane
with the superior races. 1t is assumed
that the negro is descendant Of Ham,
through Canaan. The Bible declares OF
this son Of Ham: Cursed be Canaan; a
servant Of servants shall he be unto his
brethren. Blessed be the Lord God Of
Shcm, and Canaan shall be his servant.
God shall enlarge Japhcth, and he shall
dwell in the tents of Shcm, and Canaan
shall be his servant"
With this before us, does it not seem that
every attempt to make Ham, or the negro,
the equal of or ruler over -Shcm and
Japhcth. that is the white races, tends to
Ialsify this prophecy? We have been
forced to conCcde equality in the State by
the old abolition fanaiCism which our
Southern theologiaus regarded as infdelity,
but shall we, with this prophecy in view,
Of our own accord not only make the negro
M equal in the Church but actually put
him in authority over us? The curse upon
Canaan, which is also prophecy, was
that he should be q servant Of servants, or
a slave Of slaves, that is the lowest of SER
wants, and cannot but regard ali efforts to
put him ON equality with the other children
Of Noah rs an impious attempt TO counter
vail Gods providence and very much like
the determination Of the Emperor Julian to
rebuild Jerusalem in order that at least one
prophecy might be falSicd and the Bible
lscrcditcd. Juljans gigantic efforts to
light against God resulted to him in disas.
or. Negro equality and authority. as we
we'll know, have resulted disastrously in the
state. Shall we subject ourselves to like
hanger in the Church?
My Scriptural inference Is that the posi-
ion of the negro towards the Caucasian
races is one Of infcriority and subordination
both in Church and State CAUCASIAN.
